Wow . . . where do I start?

I'm just an average working mom and grandma who is learning photo editing and is obsessed with digital scrapbooking. I honestly don't know a thing about papers! I ordered this paper on sale to try it. Wow, my work looks REALLY good. I love showing off my work to my co-workers and friends. I really hate to tell them that what makes my finished pictures look so good, is your FANTASTIC paper. I discovered your company through The Digital Scrapbook Teacher website. There was a small add in the left margin and I clicked it on to see what you were all about. I had been looking for paper sources to print my 12 x 12 pages on. Well, I don't have to look anymore! And you know what's even better about your company? The fact that you explain everything (in plain English) and that you have all these articles to read! Plus the fact that you tell us what to set our printers on and how much printing costs . . . I could go on and on! I haven't found another paper company that does that. Well, so much for my babbling on. I have to get back to work on a Father's Day gift I'm making for my son ... on your paper, of course! Thanks for all your hard work at putting together this great company and website.

Excellent quality paper

Marci Brinker, Mar 24, 2026

I love the Aurora Art Natural paper for my art prints. I use a Canon ImagePrograf Pro-300 and I'm very happy with how well the profiles work with the printer and how well the prints turn out. The paper is excellent quality and my prints are crisp and clear and vivid. I'll definitely be back for more.

Epson Feed

Casey Frank, Mar 20, 2026

If these cards are fed through the top rear feeder of my Epson ET8550 short side down, each one must be pushed manually to get them started, and the rollers cleaned every 10 cards. If fed wide side down, problems solved. Same with the 250.

Awesome paper

Ika Chigogidze, Mar 16, 2026

Red River is my favorite source for high quality fine art paper. I'm a repeat customer and will definitely continue ordering from them in the future. Love it!
